The Trippy Hippie responds! Already!

Love the blog entry. Yes, I do have a PayPal account, actually 2 of them. A personal and a premier. I think rather than setting up a Yahoo store (and def not an eBay store), I'm going to build a site from scratch. My 360 was never intended to sell my stuff but I threw it up there to show some friends what I was doing. Boy, it sure has drawn a lot of attention though!

Everything I do is custom created to order so there will be no need for a checkout, per se. I do need to come up with an efficient way to communicate back and forth with people who are long distance. Not just words but the exchange of fabric patterns, photos of work in progress, etc. Fax was great to send logo proofs but I believe I'll create a simple private web page for each client while I'm working with them. I can post slide shows of fabric samples, rough sketches, work in progress, etc. Rather than a PayPal link I will send a PayPal invoice to my clients for the deposit and final payment.
I might suggest one thing here: if there's going to be a private page for each client, why not consider a wiki? Cindy and her clients (for instance) could each edit (and change) a wiki. And there are a few free wiki services out there. The latest issue of Inc Magazine compares a few: JotSpot, SocialText, and PMWiki. JotSpot has a nice price. She could make one of her own as well.
